Definitions

  • This invention refers to a modular armored chamber for storing explosive products. It provides basic novelty characteristics and considerable advantages as regards the known means used for similar purposes in the present state-of-the-art.
  • the invention proposes the development of a armored chamber to be used with materials of the type commented above. It has the particularity of being mobile, movable, with the use of suitable transport means and is constructed with the use of materials and following an operation able to guarantee increased safety of the product enclosed inside it. Furthermore, means ensuring suitable ventilation of the inside space have been provided at the same time in order to eliminate the internal accumulation of gases or the entrance of foreign matter from the outside that could harm, in any way, the explosive contained inside the armored chamber. The ventilation means have also been designed to prevent the introduction, accidentally or on purpose, of any object or matter from the outside.
  • the field of application of the invention falls within the scope of the industry dedicated to the fabrication of safety containers, more specifically, armored chambers.
  • US 4,848,617 discloses a ventilation system for a portable hazardous waste storage facility formed from a conventional shipping container.
  • An intake fan is installed either in a side wall or in the roof of the container and has an associated metal grill guard.
  • An exhaust duct is formed preferably inside the container by placing a strip of sheet metal over one of the vertically outwardly extending channels of a corrugated side wall. The exhaust duct extends from a distance less than 12 inches from the floor to the roof of the container. At the top of this duct, an exhaust part is cut near the roof of the container to provide an outlet for the air flowing up through the duct.
  • a metal grill is secured to the outside of the wall and overlying the part, thereby preventing any debris or animals from entering the duct.
  • US 5,511,908 which forms the preamble of claim 1, refers to a mobile safety structure for containment and handling of hazardous materials.
  • the storage structure is formed as a general rectangular prismatic body comprising a door in one of the walls.
  • the walls and roof of the mobile safety structure provide for strong structure enclosure by using interior and outer surface steel panels supported by a generally rectangular shaped tubular steel framework for each wall and the roof of the mobile safety structure. Between the interior and outer surface steel panels of each wall a pair of gypsum boards and R-19 fiber glass insulation is sandwiched.
  • the safety structure comprises support brackets having an aperture, through which a chain may be inserted for transportation of the mobile safety structure. Additionally, the safety structure includes four identical wheel support examples being positioned at each comer of the base assembly.
  • the armored chamber of this invention provides housing delimited by lateral walls, roof and floor. These are formed by various layers made of metallic, refractory and composite materials that guarantee obtaining an armored and fire-proof block, that has a great structural resistance to its attack with combined tools and that, therefore, is able to be used with explosives.
  • the panels which in their design have tongue and groove joints, are attached to each other by continuous welding extended along the respective joints.
  • the armored chamber has a predetermined number of lateral and lower ventilation means conceived as anti-intrusion, that is, made in such a way that the introduction, either accidental or on purpose, both of objects and the hand of an unauthorized person or of any other instrument or tool, is prevented.
  • the armored chamber also has upper ventilation means, which combined with the lower ones, establish an air flow to maintain the inside of the armored chamber suitably ventilated. This access is also protected against foreign elements with the help of means, in the form of caps, that cover the inlets.
  • the armored chamber also has means which, adapted to the lower part and to the sides of its surroundings, form support blocks with orifices to facilitate their attachment and elevation with the means and devices suitable for their weight.
  • FIG. 1 various views in front elevation, back elevation and side elevation, respectively, can be seen of the armored chamber constructed according to the invention and generally indicated with numerical reference 1.
  • the preferred shape adopted for said armored chamber corresponds to that of a prismatic compartment, with a rectangular base, although there are evidently other shapes are also possible.
  • the armored chamber is provided with a front door 2, constructed in accordance with the various safety standards required for this type of product and through which access can made to the interior space intended to contain and store the explosive materials. This door is provided with the necessary closing/opening means for its correct and safe operation based on the application for which it is intended.
  • the body of the armored chamber 1 is provided along its lateral and lower faces with means 3 common to the body of the armored chamber to permit its handling and raising.
  • These means have been materialized in the way of separated metallic elements projected orthogonally towards the exterior and suitably common to the surface of the armored chamber.
  • This arrangement can be better seen in Figure 4 of the drawings in which four elements 3 appear along each side, although their number may vary.
  • the orifices 4 of the different metallic elements 3 occupy equivalent positions so that they are aligned in an advantageous way.
  • the invention has provided the armored chamber with ventilation means both on the lower part as well as the upper.
  • the lower ventilation means are clearly represented in Figures 1 to 3 and are generally indicated with the numerical reference 5.
  • the larger faces of the armored chamber show two inlets for the ventilation system (the form of which will be described later on as regards Figure 6), whilst the smaller side faces show one inlet only for said ventilation means.
  • a highly resistant armored chamber is provided with increased protection characteristics of the explosive product contained on its inside.
  • its construction is made of wall, floor and roof panels obtained by superimposing the different metallic, refractory and composite material layers.
  • the result is an armored and fireproof panel highly resistant to the attack of combined tools and, therefore, ensures the best possible protection for the explosive.
  • the panels are formed with conventional tongue and groove joints so that they then become joined up by means of welding along all the respective joints.
  • the invention has foreseen that the inside surface of the body 1 of the armored chamber is completely lined with fireproof wood, of any of the known suitable types available on the market, so that all the metallic parts are duly hidden to avoid any friction or undesired blow, in some circumstances, that could cause deflagration of the explosive.
  • FIG. 5 of the drawings a vertical section view of a ventilation orifice of those provided on the upper part of the armored chamber can be seen.
  • the orifice 6 passes through the thickness of the upper base 8 of the armored chamber and ends above in a raised mouth portion somewhat higher than the superficial plane of said panel.
  • element 7 of the protecting cap Surrounding this mouth is element 7 of the protecting cap, which is attached preferably by welding to the surface of said base 8, with the use of three or more legs 9, whilst the inside shows a concentric, cylindrical projection 10 centered approximately with respect to the raised mouth portion.
  • This layout constitutes an anti-intrusion access as it provides enough space for the air to circulate without difficulty and, however, does not permit it to be used by any unauthorized person to introduce undesired objects.
  • the parts 12 of the lower panel 11 preferably four parts in predetermined positions that provide respective passing orifices 13 that are wider on the upper part for using anchor bolts on the floor or another support surface, with the housing of the head of each respective bolt in the widening of the associated orifice 13, so that said head is hidden by the use of complementary parts (not shown).
  • These parts which are coupled to the upper part of said widening, result in a superficial continuity of the inside face of the panel 11, with no edges or other undesired roughness.
  • the lower ventilation system of the armored chamber is also shown schematically which, together with the upper orifices 6, permit a current of air to be established that prevent the undesired accumulation of gases inside the armored chamber maintaining the inside space perfectly ventilated.
  • This system also constitutes an anti-intrusion performance and has been materialized based on laminated panels, superimposed in parallel, successively separated from each other by a predetermined distance. Each of these panels has a number of passing through orifices 15. As can be seen, these orifices occupy displaced positions in successive panels so that they are never opposite the orifices corresponding to two adjacent panels. In this way, the possibility of intentional insertion of objects from the outside is avoided, as well as the accidental inlet of water or other substances that could negatively affect the explosive contained inside the armored chamber. In this way, storage of the explosive product under optimum maintenance conditions is guaranteed.
  • the invention provides a armored chamber for the storage of explosives the construction of which is carried out with materials that give it increased fire-resistant characteristics, for example in the case of fire.
  • the ventilation gaps and the door are protected with intumescent products.
  • the external wall of the armored chamber was exposed to a temperature of 600°C for 2 hours without the inside temperature of the armored chamber exceeding 50°C at any time.
